Australia Warns Of Cascading Climate Risks Ahead Of Emissions Target A panel of international academic experts discusses the latest scientific evidence on whether such risk cascades are plausible, how they could occur at different levels of warming, and how. This briefing draws upon a panel on climate risk cascades at the cop26 universities climate risk summit on the 29th of september 2021. the panel included four leading experts on risk cascades: professor ilona otto, professor aled jones, dr daniel quiggin and dr ellen quigley.
Cascading Climate Risks Strategic Recommendations For European By using critical systems thinking in characterising and assessing how climate change impacts cascade across domains, we show the implications of cascades for their governance and reveal where climate change adaptation interventions might be focused. The eu funded cascades project seeks to understand the conditions under which climate risks propagate beyond their geographical, sectoral, and temporal location in ways that may affect european stability and cohesion. Examining how climate change produces cascading stressors visible in specific events, and with implications over large areas, populations, and processes, can help bridge the knowledge gaps between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. To meet the cascading climate risk challenge, a stepwise approach to implementing the recommendations is needed. this summary suggests how this might proceed, to enable european institutions and policymakers to hardwire consideration of cascading climate risks into policies and processes.

Chatham house is working with a consortium of partners to identify how the risks of climate change to countries, economies and peoples beyond europe might cascade into europe. This study presents an important opportunity to explore the challenges and potential associated with better understanding and managing of compound, cascading and systemic risks in the asia pacific region. This report defines cascading risks, identifies potential pathways for risks, contextualises cascading risks in the uk using case studies and analyses the ‘crescendo’ of resilience following cascading risks. it finishes with a series of summary questions for the group to consider. A panel of international academic experts will discuss the latest scientific evidence on whether such risk cascades are plausible, how they could occur at different levels of warming, and how policymakers can prevent and respond to such extreme systemic risk.
